Importance of mealtimes

The Importance of Mealtimes

Three years ago we asked our friends and supporters to get involved in our Importance of Mealtimes campaign and between them a fantastic £8,000 was raised. We are once again asking everyone to take part in this fun and sociable campaign, and help us reach a new target of £10,000 which will help us to reach more families who desperately need our services.

What’s it all about?

There has been much discussion in the media about the dying tradition of the whole family sitting down together at meal times. This we understand is a result of the demands of modern family life. Can you imagine then what the demands must be on families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness? Many of these families struggle to even spend two minutes together over the course of one week, let alone spend quality time together over a family meal.

How do I get involved?

Would you consider organising a meal for your family or friends? It does not have to be a large dinner party. It could be lunch, a picnic or a BBQ in the garden. All we ask is that each guest makes a donation to Rainbow Trust in exchange for their meal.
